There is a different rhythm here...a rhythm created by the moon and tides; a long, slow rhythm, with the infinite moods that only the ocean can bring.

Sitting on the deck of the holiday home, all you can see is beach, ocean, coastline and islands...a wonderful, pristine wilderness stretching to the ever-changing horizon.

After the stress of the city, it can take an hour or two to wind down and let go of the hustle and bustle, and enjoy the extraordinary feeling that comes from being more in tune with nature and the elements.

Why not come and recharge your batteries at the FrontBeach self-catering holiday home by the sea - just 15 seconds walk from the beach.
